History & Origin

Pamula is a phonetic variant of Pamela, the name invented by the poet Sir Philip Sidney and later given the folk meaning 'all sweetness' from Greek pan, 'all', and meli, 'honey'. Where Pamla contracts the name, Pamula spells out every syllable.

It was never common, chosen for only a few dozen girls a year and cresting in the early nineteen-sixties as Pamela peaked. A Pamula today would likely be a grandmother, and the spelling reads as a homespun phonetic take on a classic.

Did you know? Pamula spells out the three-beat way many said Pamela, one of the rarer written forms of a mid-century favorite.
